Kate Middleton's due date is quickly approaching, and the most-watched pregnant woman in the world has been busy setting up a royal nursery for her baby-to-be.

According to Good Morning America, the duchess is actually said to be preparing a room for baby at her residence at Kensington Palace as well as at her parent's country estate. Because she does not yet know the sex of her little one, her choices have been mainly gender neutral in shades of brown and blue, featuring simple, classic designs.

Middleton was recently spotted purchasing a Moses basket for her soon-to-be born tot. She has also been browsing posh baby boutiques for nursery accents. But according to GMA, the Duchess of Cambridge is not planning to overspend when it comes to decorating the her little one's room.

Instead, her buys for baby will mimic her own decidedly modest wardrobe. While, of course, Middleton could have her pick of the most expensive clothing and accessories in the world, she is often seen sporting bargain dresses. The soon-to-be mama even recycles outfits! Imagine that.

Still, one can't very well blame her for splurging on some swag for the royal nursery. One such example is an expensive Bugaboo pram Middleton is said to have purchased.

GMA reported that anything Middleton buys for the royal baby will very likely sell out of stores as other new moms copy her style.

Meanwhile, as the big day draws near bettors are predicting the most minute details about the delivery. From the date Middleton will officially become a mum to what color hair the royal baby will have, gamblers, as well as everyone else on the planet, will be watching events surrounding the birth very closely.

If you didn't know the gender of your baby before the birth, what is your best tip for decorating a gender neutral nursery?
